    Solid psychological horror with various trippy elements.

    The colour in some of the shots is dazzling but almost sickening - as if it's almost too rich to take in. That's what really kept me in this movie and what I remember the most since viewing it for the first time. I also remember an uncomfortable and creepy vibe, very eerie times. The glitching to cut to certain scenes was also note-worthy and kept the tension at a high level. The story and writing were solid but nothing to write home about.

    Give it a watch for an interesting and disturbing tech-dystopian vibe.
